'The human element will not be eliminated anytime soon' - Dimitris Katsanis on 3D printing, AI, and the future of carbon fibre
Briefly

Dimitris Katsanis emphasizes the importance of an aerodynamic 'total system' for achieving speed in cycling. With a rich background as a designer and engineer, Katsanis has contributed significantly to bike design, influencing over 100 Olympic and Championship medals. He has observed vast technological advancements in cycling materials and design over the past thirty years, moving from traditional steel to modern composites and 3D printing. His unique expertise comes from hands-on experience and involvement in elite cycling projects, shaping the future of bike performance.
"In short, anyone can have a fast bike, but it's getting everything lined up together that's the trick, so that when the rider races the bike, things stay fast."
"Katsanis has witnessed all of that change and been at the forefront of design for the last thirty-odd years... before going on to work with UK Sport, designing the Great Britain UK Sports Institute (UKSI) track bikes."
